With 27 new signatures securely in hand, it appears that Auburn’s recruiting class for 2010 is finally in the books. According to Rivals.com, the class is currently rated the third best in the nation, while Scout.com has Auburn at No. 5 and ESPN has them at No. 4.

Based on the projected positions of the players, it appears that the coaches did a great job of addressing needs. Including the five early enrollees, there are 16 defensive players, 14 offensive players, and two kickers. The offensive line class, in particular, looks outstanding, with both quantity and quality all across the line.

Here’s a quick look at this year’s signees — and Auburn’s newest Tigers.
